What did he 169 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: learn from the nine sacks terrorism in the playoff game 170 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 3: with the Rams And how is he going to put 171 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 3: that in play on Saturday night against Shanahan's group? 172 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: How could he. 173 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 4: Sleep the night before the game, knowing that, like the 174 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 4: opportunity that he just. 175 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: Threw to the throw aside last year. 176 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 4: He is going to have this same opportunity. I don't know, 177 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: I mean the pressure. 178 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: Of that, but that's why I'm excited about it. I 179 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 3: have nothing on the line. I don't root for the Seahawks, 180 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 3: don't care about the Seahawks. But there's something about Like 181 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: he got slapped in the face a year ago, he 182 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: did not meet the moment he moves on to another team. 183 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 3: There is something remarkable about now winning what twenty seven 184 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: games the last two years with two different teams, and 185 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 3: finding his way in the identical spot a year later, 186 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: where the entire bitbelieves on the line, if he is 187 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: just better in the red zone effectively than he was 188 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 3: three hundred and sixty five ish days ago. 189 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: It's true. 190 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 4: But I will say of late like he has strugg 191 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: and that offense has been carried by Mike McDonald's defense. 192 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a fun one, gonna be a 193 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 4: issue to watch. 194 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: PA, do you have your picks? What are I mean? 195 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 4: What are you googling now? Texting Scott Fish for answers? 196 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: Well, it's it's what Ordo said, got me going a 197 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: little bit okay, because it's like, okay, are we going 198 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: to be rooting for this now? Not necessarily, but Jackson 199 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba scoring a bunch of points for all 200 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: these charities. That's the a topic. But he went nine 201 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: one twenty four, but no touchdowns. Week one, Seattle lost 202 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: the game. It was a lower scoring game. San Francisco's defense. 203 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: I heard Order the other day talking about the lack 204 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: of potency with the pass rush. I mean, it's really 205 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: really falling off late in the season. Their team is 206 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: so beat up man right, still winning all those points 207 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: and yards they gave up. I wanted to take Jackson 208 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba. And it's not that I don't like 209 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: the pick. I actually love the pick. I'm just not 210 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: sure that we want to marry ourselves all three. 211 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: That's kind of one guy. 212 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 4: I don't think we want to marry ourselves all three. 213 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: You know what I'm doing, I'm going to take no, 214 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: you're you're really convicted. I'm gonna take age ced Lamb. 215 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: I'll take Cede Lamb against the giant. That's the New 216 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: York Giants. Well, the Giants were really good, so that's. 217 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: I'll take c d Lamb and then my running back 218 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: is going to be DeAndre Swift, all right, And I 219 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: touched on this a little earlier in the week. It's 220 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: if you follow Nordo and Prize Picks, okay, if you're 221 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: part of that Prize Picks covenant. I don't know if 222 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, but what Ben Johnson is going to 223 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: try to do to Dan Clambols and the Detroit Lions 224 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: should be what alec Flus state in forty eight states. 225 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: Week two, We gonna get you a map for your birthday. 226 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: Week two, these Lions caught the Bears before this new 227 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: coach had things hit legit full throttle and made the 228 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: mistake of scoring fifty two on him. And when Ben 229 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: Johnson left through the tunnel. From what I'm told, I 230 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: mean a lot of people were getting after him and 231 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: they just forgot the spect that they should have for 232 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: this elite offensive. Mind that was Week two. This is 233 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: Week EIGHTEAM and he's at home and he needs to win. 234 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: We just saw the Lions. If it's possible to score 235 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: seventy points in this game, Ben Johnson's gonna do it. 236 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: He will not stop, mark my words. So I think 237 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift's going to be a. 238 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: Big part of it, and he's also a former Liamb. 239 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: So Ben taking the context and the layering of it 240 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: former team put up fifty two on me. 241 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 2: Screw you. 242 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make your former running back the identity of 243 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: this game, and he's gonna score at least three times 244 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: on you. 245 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: So I'll take DeAndre Swift and Cede Lamb. 246 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: I like Cedee Lamb. The thing that I struggled with 247 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: is trying to find and I think he's Smith and 248 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: jigs right. I think you did with CD, but I 249 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 3: was struggling to dig into games that effectively don't match. Yeah, 250 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: so we got division games and rivalries. What are the circumstances. 251 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: I was chatting with Scott, actually you know, a lave's out, 252 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 3: but just thinking about certain teams and high end of 253 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 3: it time that that certainly would be an a plus 254 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 3: selection in any other week. But there are some people 255 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 3: that got some cruises booked and some ideas of let's 256 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: get that quick exit interview done the next day, let's 257 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: get out alive, SAMs injury, Let's just go hang out 258 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: in Turks and Caicos for a month, all right. 259 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 4: Justin's kind of a sneaky pick. Justin against this Packers 260 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,239 Speaker 4: defense that may not be playing. 261 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: Starters, sneak this speaking of their secondary little force feeding this, 262 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: and I don't think it's gonna happen because bo Melton, 263 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, he hasn't played any defensive snaps, but they 264 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: work him out at defense and practice stuff like that. 265 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: This is the with the I'm compiling the game calling 266 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: depth chart and just guessing what Packers will or will 267 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: not play. I can't see them playing Evan Williams. I 268 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: can't see them playing Xavier McKinney. No Valentine should play. 269 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: In fact, if I were them, I would play him 270 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: to get some more reps. 271 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 3: Well, they just got Trayvon Diggs off the street too. 272 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: He might play just to fill space. 273 00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: He might. 274 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: But for the first time since two thousand and seven 275 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: and Lorenzo Alexander with the then Washington Redskins, I have 276 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: a player on both sides of the depth chart. Bow 277 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: Melton corner, bow Melton wide receiver. I mean, if they 278 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: play Dobbs and if they play Reid and guys like that, 279 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, Christian Watson, I don't see it.

Like 426 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 4: with Jared Allen, there was a lot of push from people, 427 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: and Harrison will have that because of the way he's 428 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 4: treated people, the way he's gone about it. 429 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: So I would say, yeah, that's a good question. 430 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: Great question, brother, Thank you. And Harrison Smith returning to 431 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean I think that things so tied 432 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: to Brian Flores. It's like, if Flores comes back here, 433 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: I think Harrison is above fifty percent to come back, 434 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: but not not much above. 435 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 4: If you'd asked me six weeks ago, I would have 436 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: said no chance a joe. But the way he's looked 437 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 4: and what cannot be lost and how he's looked recently 438 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 4: is the personal health issue that he navigated at the 439 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 4: beginning of the season not only slowed his start, but 440 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 4: it chiseled away at the work he did physically leading 441 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 4: into the season, So it took him a lot of 442 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 4: time to get back right. 443 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this guy loves game days. 444 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 4: He said in the past, there's no replacement for what 445 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 4: it's like to be on the field on game day. 446 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 4: So if Brian Flores is back and Harrison's body feels 447 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 4: right and family wise, he feels like he can navigate 448 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 4: another season. I'm not gonna put it past this guy. 449 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 4: I've joked I'll be here covering this team and he'll 450 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 4: be on the team.

So 488 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: I'd like to give them twenty or twenty five before 489 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: I can really put a blanket over the whole thing. 490 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean a veterans still can't come in 491 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: as as like a backup to push McCarthy, the the 492 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: the Aleck and I and I'm speaking for Alec here 493 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: and I think he's going to agree when it comes 494 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: to quote the hater's end quote. 495 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: We I mean, I don't know about you, man, I can't. 496 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: If you absorb every single bit of praise and bit 497 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: of hate so to speak, your head will explode. So, 498 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: yes there are detractors, and yes they're those who get 499 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: frustrated by the detractors. And they bang their fists down 500 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: like I know this guy is absolutely the right answer, 501 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: where I think it's foolish for anybody to say that 502 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: simply because the a topic with JJ McCarthy is whether 503 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: it's happenstance these injuries. Man, play stop, play stop, play stop, 504 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: play stop. That has to stop. That just has to stop. 505 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: So that's my part of the answer. 506 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: What about you? 507 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: What I would say is this quarterbacks. Young quarterbacks need time. 508 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 4: Oftentimes regimes, coaches, GMS, they don't have that time. And 509 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 4: so like threading the needle within those worlds is the 510 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: conversation that we're gonna have probably all off season JJ 511 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 4: and the haters and all that stuff. Like the objective 512 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 4: way to look at it is the performance has not 513 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 4: been nearly good enough. It obviously got better from weeks 514 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 4: fourteen to sixteen, and you hope that it continues on 515 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 4: that upward trajectory. And if that's the case, he will 516 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 4: maintain this job. But as the Vikings inner next season, 517 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 4: they cannot move forward without ensuring that the quarterback room 518 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 4: hits a higher floor than it did this year. 519 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 2: And that's just the bottom line. 520 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 4: Whatever they do, whether it's roll with McCarthy, as the starter, 521 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 4: whether it's bringing competition to be the starter, they have 522 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: to have the quarterback room at a floor that is 523 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 4: playoff caliber and win a playoff game caliber, because this 524 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 4: regime is entering their fifth season not having won a 525 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 4: playoff game. So that's what I say is no hate 526 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 4: on JJ. It's not like he needs developmental time. There's 527 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 4: no question all quarterbacks do. Franchises don't and not franchises. 528 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 4: Franchise have time, coaches, gms front off, they often don't 529 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 4: have that time, and that is a hard world to navigate, 530 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 4: and really it's the job of ownership to ensure that 531 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 4: that those worlds are navigating for the betterment of the organization. 532 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: That's beautifully described. Final one bokes by Bike Bikes back 533 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: there with. 534 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 2: The n what's your name? Where are you from? Brother? 535 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 2: My name is Holden. 536 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 5: I'm from Bloomington, And my question is, so I get 537 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 5: into the draft in April, And something I've heard from 538 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 5: social media everywhere is that we've struggled because we don't 539 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 5: have depth, and especially drafting, because we're paying millions and 540 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 5: millions of dollars for starters, but we don't have people 541 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 5: behind them to go. And my question is do we 542 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 5: need to move on from Quasi, especially drafting and with 543 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 5: how much we. 544 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 2: Just had busts year. 545 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: My part of that equation would be with Quasi Adolpha 546 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: Mensa and his regime. Okay, the uh, the everybody, everybody, 547 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: every idea, everything that comes with it. 548 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 3: Uh. 549 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: I believe into this year it would be premature to 550 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: ponder something like that. And by the way, he did 551 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: just get some form of contract extension into this year. 552 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 2: Uh. 553 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: And and and you know there being some type of 554 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: insubordination issue there there isn't. So therefore that would be 555 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: the first part of the answer. Second part the team 556 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: has to draft better and it has to start right now. 557 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: And you know when you when you get Grenard and 558 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: Van Ginkol, Isaiah Rodgers had a pretty good year. Eric 559 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: Wilson was a wonderful I mean, there are a lot 560 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: of good things Quacy and his group have. Don redmand 561 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: uh Jalen Redman. Wow, that's right at the top of 562 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: the list from a drafting standpoint. Okay, we can win 563 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 1: with Addison. I think McCarthy's gonna be okay, But I 564 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: think you gotta wait, Donavan Jackson, I mean, we're we're 565 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: not we've done this too long to like, all right, 566 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: well let's go through every single one and go B 567 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 1: minus D plus C minus and that determines whether somebody 568 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: is in or out. Game doesn't work that way. There's 569 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: a lot more that goes into that role than simply 570 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: the draft. So no, I don't believe something like that 571 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: will happen into this year. In the next year, I 572 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: don't believe it should happen. But the a topic is 573 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: that most of the drafting, with all due respect, has 574 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: been poor, and drafting is the lifeblood of a team. 575 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: Free agencies like the prednozone, the steroids that you put 576 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: in there to get the blood flowing. And and they've 577 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: never heard that analogy that's pretty good. It's it's like 578 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: the theoid where the drafting is the life blood. It 579 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: has to be better. What I would say is this 580 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: hold it. It's a good question. 581 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 4: The season will end Sunday, and then over the course 582 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 4: of next week there's gonna be a lot of meetings 583 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 4: and interviews, and there has to be a lot of 584 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 4: evaluation from ownership on how this season went, the decisions 585 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 4: that were made, who was behind all of the decisions, 586 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 4: what the collaboration looks looked like, and then what the 587 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 4: process has been. And that's really the way like how 588 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 4: I you know, how I expect ownership to answer this 589 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 4: question is was the process right? And if the answer 590 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 4: to that is yes, then it's hard moving forward to 591 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 4: do something differently. If you feel like the process and 592 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 4: the communication and the synergy is not right, then I 593 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 4: think that's where you have those conversations and so and 594 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 4: it's hard to know on the outside. It's hard to 595 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 4: delineate and dissect that all from the outside. But that's 596 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 4: really got to be the question the draft, and you 597 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 4: said it one hundred percent accurate. They're gonna have nine 598 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 4: or ten picks in this upcoming draft, just like they 599 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 4: had a ton of picks in twenty twenty two. They 600 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 4: were awful in the twenty twenty two draft. And this 601 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 4: has to be a foundational draft moving forward for this team. 602 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 4: And so whatever whoever's in charge, whatever the process is, 603 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 4: that has to be the situation for the twenty twenty 604 00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 4: six NFL Draft. 605 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: Brilliant, Thank you holding great job, bites bits in the 606 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: crowd with the questions.

So we did this earlier in the season, 644 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: and since this is our final feast, we figured we 645 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: would close it this way too, making a case for 646 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: a team from the NFC to get to the Super 647 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: Bowl and tying it to an appliance that you can 648 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: get at Steve's Appliances either a mound viewer Steve's Appliances 649 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: dot Com. And we didn't go over who has which 650 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: team and why? If we have the same team, great, 651 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: If we don't, that's fine too. I'm I'm going to 652 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: make a case for the Chicago Bears to go to 653 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. 654 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: In fact, they're eight and. 655 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: A half nine to one, and if I were in 656 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: spot up mode, I would play them at that number. 657 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: This is not a blind staff, Okay, they're teams that 658 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: that that we think can represent super Bowl sixty in 659 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: a wide open year for the NFC and the AFC 660 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: and with the Chicago Bears. For me, the appliance is 661 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: going to be the ge Profile stainless steal over the 662 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 1: range microwave. The website Steve's Appliances dot Com shop deals, 663 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: you'll find it. You can save up to two hundred 664 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: dollars on this high high end microwave. Why am I 665 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: using a microwave with the Bears, Because I mean they 666 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: pushed start and this sucker got hot in a minute. 667 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 2: And it stayed, It stayed hot. 668 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: And what's coming out of it is very very good. 669 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: Here's the context. The coach matters. Everybody's talked about that 670 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: a million times. Ben Johnson, the coach matters very good 671 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: at what he does. That Niners game got me over 672 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: the hump on this take because it's scoring with a 673 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: team that was scoring a ton of points. That that 674 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a concern of mine thinking 675 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: about who's going to the super Bowl. They went toe 676 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: to toe with a coach who might win Coach of 677 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: the Year on the road and should have won the game, 678 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: but DeAndre Swift ran the wrong route at the end 679 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: and they got the puddle. So the fact that they 680 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: can they've now shown us we can score with you. 681 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: They also took the Green Bay Packers' best shot a 682 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and won a low scoring game. 683 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: How about the game after Thanksgiving? When you go to 684 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and you win a low scoring game against the Eagles, 685 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: you're on my radar. And I don't care how enigmatic 686 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: or mercurial people think the Eagles are. They're still the Eagles, 687 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: and they're tough to be to Lincoln Financial. So they 688 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: the run that they get from their non stars and 689 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: players like DeAndre Swift. I mean, I think the Chicago 690 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: Bears are going to the Super Bowl. So that's my 691 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: super Bowl selection from the NFC. 692 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 2: Nordo. 693 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to go with the San Francisco forty 694 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 3: nine ers, and we're going to get to see him 695 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 3: of course Saturday night Tomorrow night as they seek out 696 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 3: the one seed, and if everything goes through Santa Clara, 697 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 3: they might be playing a Super Bowl in their home stadium. 698 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 2: In early February. 699 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 3: To mash that up, I picked the Speed Queen d 700 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 3: R seven seven cubic foot white front load electric dryer. 701 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 3: Now electric is key to this because the Niners can 702 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 3: be electric. 703 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 2: Love it, but the big key looking too dryers. 704 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: All those that care about their appliances go to Steve's 705 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 3: Appliances dot Com.

What do we do Ricky Piersoll's in and 714 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,240 Speaker 3: out with little Nixon bruises here and there, Old faithful 715 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 3: No matter what Christian McCaffrey carrying this offense, the durability 716 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 3: of the Niners, in combination with the maturity and the 717 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 3: high end coaching, is why specifically, if the Niners win 718 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 3: tomorrow night, they will be going to the super I 719 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 3: do look at it on both sides of the equation, 720 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 3: AFC NFC. Do you gotta go to Mile High? Do 721 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 3: you gotta go to Gillette? On the NFC side, you 722 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 3: gotta go to Seattle, you gotta go to the Bay. 723 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 3: I think it. It just has played out this way statistically. 724 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 3: The one seeds are finding their way into the big game. 725 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 3: And so I'm taking my speed Queen electric Dryer, I'm 726 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 3: matching it with the forty nine ers, and I'm heading 727 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 3: to Santa Clara in February Steve's appliances. 728 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: Dot Com to find that electric dryer.

If I'm not mistaken, 732 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: their coach is still Sean McVeigh good. Their quarterback is 733 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: still Matthew Stafford. Their receivers are still Puka Nakua and 734 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: Navante Adams, and their defense is very multiple with the 735 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: great front and coordinated well by Chris Shula. 736 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 2: They look good in Atlanta. 737 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 4: They have dropped two games recently. They lost to the 738 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 4: Seahawks in Atlanta. 739 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. 740 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 4: So my Steve's appliance is the Frigidaire Smudgeproof. That's a 741 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 4: stainless steel double electric wall oven. They are smudgeproof. They 742 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 4: have some smudges. Yeah, but but I mean, look, losing 743 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 4: to Atlanta and losing Seattle is not going to mitigate 744 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 4: the Rams from going on the road and winning games 745 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Again, when you have Sean McVay, you 746 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 4: have Matthew Stafford, you are as multiple as they are 747 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 4: on both sides of the football, and their lines of 748 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 4: scrimmage win, like just like college football yesterday. In the 749 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 4: playoffs is a line of scrimmage game. I trust the 750 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,760 Speaker 4: Rams on both sides of the football. 751 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,439 Speaker 2: Are they gonna get their left tackle back? 752 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 4: I really hope. So it's gonna help them to be smudgeproof, 753 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 4: all right? 754 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 2: DJ Humphries awful, Yeah, DJ Humphrees. 755 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 4: You don't want to see blonious and forty eight states. 756 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah. 757 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 4: No, the Rams, the Smudgeproof double Electric. 758 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: And Whitworth was watching Humphrees play and started doing push ups. 759 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 2: Well if it is just in case. 760 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 3: And then in a prime game he walking on Diamie. 761 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,959 Speaker 2: That's right. He would have gone straight into the locker 762 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 2: room and suited. 763 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 4: Up and then he signed back just like Frank Ragnow 764 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 4: had a great three am strings. 765 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: Great. 766 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 2: Uh No the. 767 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 4: Rams for me, yeah, their favor The Rams are just 768 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 4: it's the team I I would stick with. Seattle's interesting. 769 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 4: Their defense is just absurd beyond belief. Mcgonnaald can win 770 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 4: on the road too, he can't, And I don't think 771 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 4: that defense is absurd beyond belief. When we get to 772 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 4: this next level, Okay, I think it's good. It's very good. 773 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong. I like the Corners. 774 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 5: Uh. 775 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 2: Witherspoon, I've always felt his least great. Yeah, we'll see. 776 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 2: I mean that's you don't like Witherspoon. I do, But. 777 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: He's one of those players kind of like Sauce Gardner, 778 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: where everybody's just pounding into my mind, how unbelievable. 779 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 2: Dion like they are and they're not. 780 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 4: You know, you know they have their interior defender, Byron 781 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:51,720 Speaker 4: Murphy the second. 782 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 2: He's great. 783 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 4: He would have been here had he not been picked 784 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 4: sixteenth in the twenty twenty four draft. 785 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: I believe probably you know who's gonna help the Bears 786 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: tuning Joe Tooney's great, four time Super Bowl winner. He's smudgeproof, Hey, 787 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: smudgeproof he I mean Jonah Jackson and Drew Dolman.

I never 789 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: would have guessed that those I mean that strategy. 790 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 4: They entered the offseason wanting to revamp their in teer 791 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 4: to help that entire offense, and they did it to 792 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 4: a great, I mean great level with those three guys. 793 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 3: What's the lamentation that we're having now is, Hey, we 794 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 3: wanted to do left guard. We go and draft when 795 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 3: he's pretty good. Yeah, you know, and then he's gonna 796 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 3: grow up and I hopefully it starts a ton of games, 797 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 3: helps us win a ton of games. Hey, they go 798 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 3: out and get Drew Dolman. Hey, we coming with Ryan Kelly. 799 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 3: Like just the the simplicity of when it works versus 800 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 3: what it does when it doesn't. Work and the conversations 801 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 3: that come off of that. 802 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 4: That's also a run first operation.
